Hi Lloyd:
My first reaction to your post about wax moths not being a problem in New
York was 'What?!?!'

My father lives about 60 miles north of you up in Fort Ann. The wax moths
are alive and well there when empty comb is around.

Then I started thinking, he must mean they are not a problem in healthy
hives which I'll agree with. But, then healthy colonies will keep them at
bay just about anywhere, won't they?

Here in Anchorage, they truly aren't a problem. We don't have them here.

Regards,
Dick Allen
